New fuel pump does not = good pump

[cajun66]

A "new" fuel pump does not necessarily mean a "good" fuel pump.

Symptom: Backfiring and won't run for longer than a couple seconds.

Remedy: Replaced the fuel pump and rebuilt the carb a couple weeks ago.
I took care of my persistant backfiring by regapping the points. but it still wouldn't run for more than a few seconds at a time.

Remedy 2:Took the pump off my old parts motor and she cranked up and ran on the first pull.

Results:Took it out today to Lake Maurepas and logged 27 miles before the end of the day.

Moral: Just because something is "new" doesn't mean it's good.

Copied from Cajun66:

"Thus passes the glory of the world")

And if there was just one rabbit in the forest that could operate a cross bow, man would not step foot in any parts of it.

Nah. I'd still take my chances. Rabbits have poor eyesight.
